the Chinese question, the Temperance
question, the question of missions to the
heather, the question of work among the
lapsed masses in our cities and towns,
the question of the education of the
poor and the reformation of the fallen.
Take an illustration at home. Is there
not some brother in our own town who
is in danger of yielding to the tempta-
tation of strong drink? Some one who
is not far from the drunkards grave ?
DO we still own him as brother? Are
we doing anything to put temptation out
of his way anything to rescue him from
the power of this fearful habit which Eat

to save our boys and young men from

door of life? Thank God for the noble

THE bill to be introduced by Rep
resentative Medill for the purpose of
abolishing the Levy Court in New
Castle county, and substituting
therefore three Commissioners, is al
ready causing comment pro and con.
1t must be admitted that but few
newspapers have championed Mr..
Medill's course, while several have
expressed themselves as to the i'm
practibility of the undertaking.
The Eoery Ereaing, as usual in such
matters, is a doubling Thomas.
Should there be prospect of bill
beingintroduced, regulating thestars,
then our esteemed contemporary
might be indiscreet enough to adj
vance an opinion for or against.
Why any newspaper can conscien-
tiously doubt the purest reform OF
such a bill as Mr.. Medill proposes to
introduce, we cannot tell. We hope
the bill will be presented and be
come law. Some argue that it is
merely an experiment. Let the ex,
pertinent be tested. The taxpayer:
of this county have thrown theil
money away on a less worthy un
dertaking.

The Inauguration of Benjamin T.,
Biggs as Governor of this State, on
Tuesday, was an occasion of general
good feeling. The inaugural address
was well delivered and chock full of
sense. The bail at night given in
honor of the occasion was a splendid
success. Now it remains to be seen
whether or not the Legislature will
hearken unto some of the many wise
suggestions given.

own conceit. He was welded to his own
way. His worship consisted largely in
the worship of himself. This was mani
Tested in his utter disregard of Gods
warning addressed to him after his offer

transfxed with rage, his eyes on the
ground, God spoke to him, "Why art

of the soul, with a raging hunger to de-
YOUR him, ready TO spring upon man.
But the assurance is added "Thou shall
rule over him +" THE pronoun his" and
him refer to sin, not to Abel.) Cain is
in imminent danger, he is losing self
control, is passing into satan's power,
and Is liable to commit fearful crime.
But great us is the peril, God says III

CLuvERIus was hanged last week
for the murder of Lillian Madison.
This man protested his innocence to
the last, and as the evidence against
him was only circumstantial, a
doubt enters our mind as to the
guilt Of Cluverius. A man certainly
must be vile sinner who could pro-
test his innocence of crime in the
hour of death.

To demonstrate the working of
County Commissioners take a glance
at Maryland. The management of
the county affairs have been under
three commissioners for many years,
and their work has always been sat
isfactory to taxpayers. Levy Courts
are things of the past Their ways
are past finding out and we clamor
for Commissioners. Taxpayers will
find that working of County Com
missioners will be more satisfactory
than Levy Courts. The saving of
dollars would surprise YOU, of which
we will demonstrate in a short while.
